I didn't ask for upstream changelogs to be rewritten within bodhi. If
there is a upstream changelog, just adding a reference would be very
helpful. If that can be automated, that's great.

This might solve part of the problem. It doesn't solve the problem where
downstream bugs are not referred to or closed for example. The thing is
that this process requires human intelligence and cannot be completely
automated in all cases.
